Ok, arrest children abusers then. Problem solved!
Or, hear me out here, do something about the conditions that cause children to be vulnerable to sexual exploitation? Crazy, i know.
And what are those conditions? And what can we do with them? Is it even possible?
Just investigating situations with paedophiles looks like rather effective but very simple and straightforward way to improve the situation.
One condition would be making it so poverty doesn't exist by redistributing wealth of the ultra-wealthy. Less people in need of money, less reason to traffic and sell children.
Correct. Also, in developed countries, most child abuse happens within families. This is something where good social services help. The kind of services that always get cut to finance tax cuts for the rich.
and proper sexual education that includes the importance of consent.
Which is why "conservatives" are so opposed to it.
